How do I support someone who is suicidal? Please help. They called me when they were close and when I called back after my shower (because I didn’t know what was happening) they didn’t want to talk about it. I don’t know what to do and I want to help

How are they suicidal? If they don’t want to talk then there’s not much you can do Unless you think they are a strong risk for suicide and in that case you call UCAPD

As someone who was in that place at one point. The most you can do is make sure it’s known that you are there to support them. And ultimately, it is up to them to seek help. But it makes it a lot easier if they know they have places to turn.
